Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s go over this stretch in feet and miles per hour.

Looking at Jaconé, we’ve got surf across most of the 16-day run, but you’ve gotta pick the good windows. Water temp is around 73°F, which is normal for this time of year.

The first few days are small but clean. Monday the 17th has a clean 4ft S swell with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 15 mph. Combined energy is 449 – moderate. The period is 11 seconds, so that’s a proper groundswell. It’s not big, but it’s clean and lined up. Good for a longboard session.

Tuesday morning the 18th is the first real standout. The swell is 4ft from the E with a short period of 7 seconds, less power. But the wind is pure magic: NE at 6 mph, offshore and glassy. That’s a huge positive. Combined energy is 277, still moderate, but the clean conditions will make it feel way better. This is the pick of the early days.

Wednesday and Thursday mornings are tiny – 3ft – and clean, but the combined energy drops to weak (78 and 76). You can still get wet, but don’t race out for it.

Friday the 21st morning is a proper standout. Swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, period 8 seconds, combined energy 601. The wind is a light NNE at 6 mph, cross-offshore. That’s a step up in size – at 7ft, it’s getting serious for beginners. For intermediates and above, it’s going to be fun with more push.

The weekend gets messy with rain and onshore wind on Saturday the 22nd. Sunday the 23rd looks better with a 5ft S swell, E wind cross-off at 6 mph, and combined energy 748. A solid afternoon, but not a standout.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th bring the big stuff – 6ft to 7ft S swell, 11-12 second periods, combined energy 900 to 1200. The wind on Monday is cross-on and rainy, so chop is likely. Tuesday has better cross-off wind, but conditions are still marginal. This is experienced surfer territory.

Wednesday the 26th morning is another top pick. A 5ft SSW groundswell with 12-second period (long-period), NE offshore wind at 9 mph, combined energy 755. That’s powerful and clean. The long period gives more energy and shape, though at a beach break it can run a bit straight. Still, with that offshore wind, it’ll be quality.

Thursday the 27th morning is glassy – NNE wind at 3 mph, 2ft – a magical little window for a dawn patrol on a log.

Toward the end, Sunday the 31st sees a big, powerful S swell – 7ft, 16-second period, combined energy 2615. That is very strong. But the wind is onshore and light, so expect bumpy conditions. Then Tuesday the 1st of September hits 10ft – expert only, with onshore wind. Too big and messy for most.

Best on offer: Tuesday the 18th morning for small, clean, offshore perfection. For size and power, Friday the 21st morning and Wednesday the 26th morning are the ones to circle. Aim for those windows.

Rusty.
